Yes, that little globe valve kicked my ass.  I had to swallow my pride and order a pre-made one which was done quite nicely.  Learned some tricks from that one as they don't make them quite like they show in the plans, so hopefully next time I can make a good one.

Fixtures are a must for machining the pipe castings without setup nightmares.  If threading, you need to decide what thread type you are going to use.  I imported my taps & dies from the UK as they were a good bit cheaper than PM.

Thanks for the heads up on the Globe valves! Now you got me wanting to order a complete Globe valve...If they have found a Better way to machine them and not updated there kit drawings, I want to know as I see me needing Several of these Globe valves in the future! I really love the look of PMR Globe valves.
